It’s been a bit since I’ve posted an update here about what is happening with Zavala.

Version 3.1 is out. There were lots of little bug fixes and enhancements in that release. The main feature implemented in 3.1 was the ability to sort the Documents View in different ways. You can now specify ascending or descending and sort on Title, Created, and Updated.

Zavala 3.2 is now in TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/iFbND23m

The main feature in 3.2 is automatic line numbering. There is a new Setting in the Outline Get Info dialog that allows you to select the line numbering style. There are None, Simple, Decimal, and Legal. I had some fun implementing this feature. I did have some trouble finding a definitive resource on how Legal should be done especially at deeper levels. Any feedback on how I did it would be appreciated.
